Two Dallas trails - one in north Oak Cliff and the other near White Rock Lake - are among a handful of hike-and-bike projects that could receive major cash infusions this week from the North Central Texas Council of Governments.

The group's Regional Transportation Council will vote Thursday on a plan to use more than $13 million to boost nearly a dozen biking and pedestrian improvement efforts in North Texas.

The two biggest potential beneficiaries are the Coombs Creek Trail Extension and the SoPac veloway. The former, which runs along Interstate 30 in Oak Cliff, is slated to receive $2 million. The latter, which could ultimately run from White Rock Lake to around Royal Lane, is expected to get just over $3 million.

The funds, which the Texas Department of Transportation secured through the federal Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users, will also help projects in Denton, Collin and Tarrant countie.

A few other projects of note include: the Denton County Transportation Authority's A-Train rail trail ($2 million); the North Main Street Bridge in Fort Worth ($2 million); and the downtown Colleyville bike and pedestrian trail ($1.3 million).

We'll have more on this later in the week. But check out the jump to read Thursday's briefing and see the other projects being considered.
